At the same time, in a secluded courtyard somewhere on the outskirts of Qincheng, Lu Erya stood under a loofah vine, fiercely pinching a flower with her hand, her expression dark. "You said... someone from the Jiang family in Beijing wants to take Lu Wensheng in as their goddaughter?!"
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face stood beside her, looking at Lu Erya cautiously, "Yes, the news has spread throughout the upper class circles of Qincheng. The family recognition banquet will be tomorrow."
Lu Erya squeezed out the juice from the flowers in her hand. The bright red juice dyed her fingers red, and at first glance, they looked as if they were covered in blood.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Erya's resentful expression and advised, "Please be patient. Wait for news from the Fifth Young Master, and then maybe you can go back..."
"Heh—" Lu Erya sneered sarcastically, "The fifth young master of the Xiao family won't help me!"
After such a long time, Lu Erya finally reacted.
Xiao Chu came to Qincheng not to help her at all.
He had his own plans and goals, but these plans and goals did not include her, Lu Erya.
The other party didn't treat her as a sister at all.
When Lu Erya thought of this result, her face twisted with anger.
Since Xiao Chu excluded her, she would have to handle the next thing on her own.
She had successfully sent the mother nest out, and her mission in Country H was half completed.
The other half... is to find that legendary code.
Over the years, she has been to the Lu family back and forth, searching hundreds of times, but has never found anything.
Lu Erya had a hunch that Lu Wensheng must know where that thing was!
Even if it is not in Lu Wensheng's hands, she must have some clues about it!
if only--
Catch Lu Wensheng!
Lu Erya's lips curled up into a smile, "I heard that Madam Lu has been looking for me recently, and she's very anxious?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, that woman recently mobilized everyone in the Lu family to look for you..."
Lu Erya laughed sarcastically.
It seems that Lu Xiuyuan has not told Mrs. Lu the truth yet.
That’s right, Mrs. Lu is too stupid. Even if you tell her the truth, she probably won’t believe it. She will think that Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Wensheng have conspired to deceive her.
Unless Mrs. Lu saw the truth with her own eyes, that woman would never believe that the daughter she had raised for eighteen years would have another identity.
Lu Erya was a little proud.
With such a result, it was worth it for her to condescend and work diligently as a good and obedient daughter for eighteen years.
Xiao Chu is unreliable, so she has to handle the next thing by herself.
As long as she found that string of code, she could immediately leave Country H, return to her adoptive father, and become the noble and unrivaled young lady she was...
Lu Erya narrowed her eyes slightly, "Think of a way to contact Madam Lu and tell her a little bit about me, just say..."
She laughed, a sinister smile on her lips, "I was kidnapped by you. If you want to exchange her daughter for mine, you can use her other daughter in exchange!"
The middle-aged man was shocked, "No! There are people looking for you everywhere outside!"
"There are people from the Procuratorate, the Lu family's eldest young master's people, and more than that. Qincheng has recently seen many people of extraordinary status. Almost all of them are looking for you. If you show up... they will catch you immediately!"
"And then?" Lu Erya's crimson lips curled up, and she asked with a smile, "What's the charge for arresting me?"
"Calling me a foreign spy?"
"Where's the evidence? Have I ever done anything to betray Country H?"
"Blowing up the Lu residence—" Lu Erya almost wanted to laugh, "That wasn't me who did it, it was Madam Lu who did it!"
"The Lu family's surveillance footage clearly shows that it was Madam Lu who directed her servants to plant those bombs beneath the ground of the Lu family's main residence..."
"I was only five years old at the time, too sick to move in bed. No one would dare to pin these accusations on a five-year-old girl..."
"Apart from those minor charges against Lu Wensheng, what evidence do they have to prove that those things are related to me?"
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Erya's somewhat frantic expression and said in a deep voice, "Rules are made by people. At certain times, evidence is not important at all..."
Lu Erya smiled gently, "So, if you want to ensure my safety, you have to give Country H a reason not to touch me easily!"
"Let the procuratorate. Lu Xiuyuan clearly knows what I did, but he is suppressed and dares not touch me..."
"The only one who can do this is... my godfather!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Erya's cold eyes and was still worried, "But——"
"No need to say more, I've made up my mind!" Lu Erya's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "I must make Lu Wensheng die!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Erya's eyes filled with resentment and felt a little frightened.
He thought for a moment and suddenly understood why Lu Erya chose to take the risk.
It’s because of the daughter of the Lu family who was just found!
Originally, Lu Erya was most pleased with the fact that Lu Wensheng was not loved by his family, and it was also what made her most proud when facing Lu Wensheng.
Look, your mother loved and pampered me until her death, but you are like a poor creature, living in this world without any relatives to love you.
But now, Lu Wensheng is going to have another mother. Not only that, she even took the initiative to visit Mrs. Lu.
Lu Erya was worried that without her deliberate guidance, Mrs. Lu would become obsessed with Lu Wensheng, gradually forget her, and start to care about Lu Wensheng.
This is a result that Lu Erya would rather die than see!
How could she just watch Lu Wensheng being cared for and loved by others? !
That's why... she was so desperate and wanted Lu Wensheng to die!
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Erya's somewhat resolute expression and gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, Miss! I will definitely help you... kill that little bitch!"
-
Day two.
In the Jiang family's villa in Qincheng, Jiang Shubai stood on the second floor and saw the scene of elegantly dressed people downstairs.
Zhu Nanyan walked over and stood beside him. She stared at the lively scene downstairs for a while and suddenly laughed, "Mrs. Jiang seems to like that child very much..."
Jiang Shubai lowered his eyebrows slightly, "I wonder if she will like it..."
Zhu Nanyan turned and looked at the people around her.
The Jiang family adopted Lu Wensheng as their daughter. As Lu Youyou's teacher, if she didn't come to see her in person, it might arouse suspicion.
She whispered, "They are both good kids. As long as it's sincere, they will like it."
